So I have this dog and I love him so so Much!
I was gifted this puppy the very first pic is from when I first got him (9 weeks) and the other pics are all fairly recent (the last one is right now he’s 1y6mo. 52lbs )
He eats EVERYTHING keyword eats(Toys,Grass,Wood chips,Batteries from the remote,he took my matcha whisk off the counter when I had my back turned for a millisecond. I’ve caught him knawing the wall before). He is also very skittish- ironic considering he’s glued to my hip… but if I even turn to fast he’s halfway flying out the room. He’s been like this since I got him. He sleeps with me he’s cuddles with me and he comes when I beckon.
I’ve gotten him so many toys but the only one that has lasted is a purple hypertough ball specifically. I figured id ask you all because I don’t know if these things are a breed thing or not… also come to find out he’s from a BY Breeder they provided “AKC paperwork” that was given in turn to me but a part of me thinks he’s a Lagotto Romagnolo because he doesn’t look like everyone else in this com.’s PWD but also some of the other dogs posted here look like Pomeranians so who’s to tell
Are all of these things normal for a Portuguese water dog?
TLDR; Dog eats everything/anything blood test shows he’s ok, I feel guilty using a muzzle.Training began 6 weeks ago . I also have breed concerns as his coat pattern is very distinct and I notice he points his tails a lot. Scared of water.
